Grimes says she was wrongfully accused of throwing a snowball at the Queen's car in high school
Grimes has recalled a high school memory where she was "wrongfully accused" of throwing a snowball at Queen Elizabeth II's car during her Golden Jubilee visit to Canada.
Last night (14 September) on Twitter, Grimes shared a memory from high school involving the late Queen, who died aged 96 last week.
"Once the queen was gna drive past my high school on a snow day, and all day the teachers threatened us no snow balls," Grimes wrote. "As she drove past it was dead silent, all teachers high alert. And just as the procession was almost past a single snowball arced from the crowd & hit her car."
Grimes continued, "Entire crowd erupted into insanity. I was wrongfully accused and had to spend many hours in interrogations, still to this day the culprit remains unknown. But it was glorious."
